Adjusting LE shocks

JeeperX · #1 (**permalink**) 04-30-2012, 10:13 AM

Has anyone played around with adjusting the stock LE shocks? What exactly does the damper screw do? Whoops are killing me out in the sand. I know it will never be new shocks better but just even a little less bucking would be nice. Fronts are set on setting 2 it looks like.

I didnt think that the LE shocks were adjustable. Other than adjusting the spring base.

I believe the rear ones can be done..but not the front?

Rears are piggy backs and have the damper screw i think and the fronts have like the 4 or 5 differnt settings

I like some input on this too, I have a 2011 LE. Would like to get a softer ride.

I'll chime in here too. Any tips for stock shocks would be great. I hate the "Mule Kick".

Go slow in the whoops or take some advil before hitting the trail. There are agriculture vehicles by design when stock.

the sport shocks are adjustable, but i've never touched mine.

Let's try and focus on stock shocks other than the sport.

I am not looking to get a completely different ride, just any relieve at all to somewhat keep up with the rzr's haha. Would it be better to have the shock be softer or harder?

softer in the rear but with plenty of travel before compression.

So I finally adjusted the front shocks, went from setting 2 to 4, was amazed how much of a difference it made. Still have not played with the rear.

If back is bucking and rear shocks have dampening adjustment screws top is compretion bottom is re bound turn bottom screw clockwise that will slow rebound I also sofened rear spring

Front shocks I ran the preload up on the shock.
I just see preload and adjustment screw at top of rear shock, any idea on a good setting for the rear shocks.
